Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007-08

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't see how this is notable enough to have it's own article; I know the event is confirmed, but surely a play-by-play analysis isn't planned. I don't see why the results (India wins, etc.) can't be put into the India cricket team article.

 * Keep A 'play by play analysis'? Something tells me you're not familiar with cricket, or indeed the discussion on the forthcoming South African tour of India article.  Cricket tours by test playing countries are absolutely notable as they're the highest form of the game.  There's a lot to be said about individual tours, and test matches and even one day internationals, and it would be impossible to put them all into the article on the teams themselves.  There are A LOT of articles about tours on Wikipedia, I suggest you have a look at a few to see  what the 'play by play' analysis looks like.  I also suggest visiting the wikicricket project, after learning at least something about the game and discussing this further, rather than posting any more tours for deletion here.  I'd be all for deleting any discussion of England's debacle in Sri Lanka at the moment, but it's not going to happen.  Nick mallory (talk) 06:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * What I meant was a detailed breakdown of how the games proceed seems a bit unencyclopedic to me. However, if there's actually a substantial amount of information to be written on this subject then I guess I should withdraw this AfD. Thanks for the heads-up.

 * That's ok. This tour is part of the 'Future Tours Programme' of the ICC so it is notable.  I'm just trying to save you from being knocked for six here.  Cricket is one of the major international sports, the fourth most popular search term on Google this year was 'cricket world cup' .  Nick mallory (talk) 07:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Even a one-sided series as this is bound to be is still the top tier of a major international sport. It's a confirmed future event, and given the sheer volume of coverage it will produce (trust me, if the Indian 12th man sneezes during the tour, it'll be headline news at home), a merge would be entirely counterproductive.

 * Keep All these tours are notable.  Deleting it now will just mean it's recreated not long after that. Note that Alokprasad84 removed the AFD tag from the page before this discussion was closed. Lugnuts (talk) 09:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
